While we're in media announcements mode, SiriusXM and the PGA Tour have agreed on an extension until 2021 when current television contracts expire.

Not that long ago, the SiriusXM/PGA Tour relationship was very much up in the air until the last moment, so this is a welcome extension for those who appreciate the live tournament coverage--extra-handy of late--or those who enjoy the various talk shows.

For Immediate Release:

PGA TOUR, SiriusXM sign four-year extension

SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel will continue to deliver extensive live tournament coverage and daily golf talk to fans nationwide through 2021

Stopped in @savemuny to hear the latest efforts on saving the important Austin course from development. It was a busy junior day and the course was packed with all types of golfer. Such a neat place with much character that survives in spite of its current state thanks to atmosphere and perfect size scale that should be model for golf. With a little infusion of money and care it’ll be one of the world’s busiest courses again. Good luck @tapcity1 @criquetshirts and others fighting the good fight! #munigolf #bencrenshaw #savemuny
